Jerry Glanville looked for volunteers to long snap as the East team wrapped up its practice Tuesday in Tampa, Fla.

Trent Steelman was one of the few players who stepped up. Steelman, Army's starting quarterback the past four years, started firing balls back to Arkansas punter Dylan Breeding.

Glanville, who coached the Falcons and the Oilers in the NFL, was baffled. He asked Steelman if he had snapped at Army.

"No, sir," Army's all-time leader in rushing touchdowns replied.

"Looks like we found our long snapper," Glanville said.

Steelman added another position with which to impress NFL scouts at the East-West Shrine Game on Saturday.

Earlier in practice, Steelman made two one-handed catches, one diving, as a wide receiver. He lined up as a wildcat quarterback for a few plays. Steelman is also on the kick-coverage team.

Who knows, maybe the 6-foot, 210-pound Steelman will line up on defense for Glanville. He had an interview on Tuesday night with the Baltimore Ravens, who are looking at him as a safety.

"No matter where I'm at, I'm going to give it my all," said Steelman, who was known for his toughness at Army. "That's one of the big things I'm trying to showcase here is my willingness to learn and my willingness to work hard."

Steelman's hard work at receiver before the senior all-star game has paid off. Steelman said he's dropped just one pass in his first two days of practice for the East.

Tyson Steelman, a high school coach in Kentucky and Trent's older brother, started with the basics last summer. Steelman worked on more than 10 drills focused on footwork.

"The first time we went out his stance looked like a freshman in high school," Tyson Steelman said. "It was really terrible to be honest. He even fell on his face a couple of times running the routes. In about the second or third week, I was like, 'You are getting pretty good at this.' "

Over the Christmas break, Steelman refined his route running. He's is now making double moves and beating cornerbacks in East practices.

Can Steelman play receiver at the next level?

"That's down the road," Steelman said. "There's a lot that can happen between now and then. A lot of people have been impressed, and it's just worked out well for me."

Steelman, who could be catching passes from Kansas State's Collin Klein, third in the Heisman Trophy voting, knows his NFL dreams will have to wait. He must serve at least two years of active duty following his graduation in May before applying for his release.

"I know what I am obligated to and what my duty is and that's to be an officer first," Steelman said. "If it happens, it happens. But if not, the military is a great career. Playing in the NFL has been my dream and I'm going to try and balance both, but I know the military is my No. 1 goal and my No. 1 duty."
